Did not have the problem for the first few months, but it is now getting (or seems to be) louder. Driver door buzz that comes and goes under certain conditions. I haven't narrowed it down yet but it appears to be a low speed, and increasing RPM. Ie, accelerating after a red light.

Dealership had it for a day and took it for a spin and could verify it was in-fact making a sound, but were...

Anyways, I found this interesting. I'm only 2 minutes in, but there is a comment made about how GM cars sucked. I really AM surprised because I have been impressed with Cadillac and Buick's of late. They seem to be doing much better than before, and this was disheartening to hear.

My dash cam, scanner and a couple of other electronic doodads are powered by my car’s cigarette lighter plug. That’s great when the car is running. A problem arises when I shut the car off, killing power to the cigarette lighter plug, so I lose power to these electronics.

Ideally, I will rewire the cigarette lighter plug so it has continuous power. That’s for later. Right now I need a short term solution. I am curious...

Number one was a maybe early 2000s body Camaro and number two was a maybe 90s Mustang.

Both with period appropriate livery and light bars etc. I was running 7-9 over and they blew past me in the left lane. I wanted a better look, but I wasn’t catching them without matching their PSL+20, so that wasn’t happening.

Didn’t know FHP ever ran either of those vehicles or that they still had any. Granted...

I found a donated charity car from the National Kidney Foundation on IAA. Highest bid: Me at $550. Great.
I look at expected auction fees and similar, about $850. No problem. I was expecting this.
I get verification that the auction is over and the car has my name on it and the total invoice is in, friggin $1180 out of nowhere!! WTH?

Turns out Georgia wants $327 in TAVT...

Also has 3 program, ranging from race,sport & economy.
I'm thinking of trying this device out as is relatively inexpensive but don't want the risk of running my car leaner & the possibility of burning a hole in top of piston.
Any advice particularly from V8 owners Would be favourable as I drive a Ford...
